I think in explicitly stating that no on from the university is allowed to submit patches includes disallowing them from submitting using personal/spoof addresses.
Sure they can only automatically ban the .edu address, but it would be pretty meaningless to just ban the university email host, but be ok with the same people submitting patches from personal accounts.
I would also explicitly ban every person involved with this "research" and add their names to a hypothetical ban list.
As a Minnesota U employee/student you cannot submit officially from campus or using the minn. u domain.
As Joe Blow at home who happens to go to school or work there you could submit even if you were part of the research team. Because you are not representing the university. The university is banned.
